Here's my new autoflower which seems unhappy.
* Germinated seed was planted Nov 14th
* 1 gallon cloth bag
* ProMix Seedling Starter Soil on the top third of the pot
* Fox Farm Ocean Soil on the bottom two thirds of pot + lots of extra perlite.
* It's in a 2x2 about 3 feet away from a Mars Hydro TS600, max distance, and off to the side as much as possible.
* There is a humidifier in the tent running 24-7 to keep the humidity around 50%, temp 23c
* It's also under a dome that I try to keep moist, I let fresh air in a few times a day
* Tap water, de-chlorinated, no nutrients
Initially it exploded out of the soil a grew faster than my other seedlings (this is my 4th plant ever) so I thought it was loving the ProMix Seedling Soil compared to my other seedlings which were put directly into Foxfarm Ocean Soil which I've learned is a bit too strong for young plants.
But after about a week it doesn't look very happy - in the past 3 days it hasn't grown at all and seems stunted. It's hard to photograph properly but here are some pics, my hand / parchment paper is in a few of the shots to help the camera focus. It has a really long stem and one of its leaves is black on the tip which is the main reason I'm concerned.
Is this from too much light? It's the only thing I can think of so today I started covering it with the piece of parchment paper to lower the intensity.
Am I overreacting or should it be a bit further along after a week? Any suggestions?
